Rocket League Update and Super Bowl LV Celebration

February 2, 2021 By Dan Thornton Leave a Comment

There’s quite a lot happening in the world of car soccer with both a Rocket League update and Super Bowl LV Celebration appearing now.

We’ll deal with the Super Bowl first, as it’s going to be confusing enough explaining car soccer should be car football for non-U.S fans. But now there’s a new Gridiron event running from February 2nd until the 8th, which is car football as the Americans understand it.

So that’s clear now?

Both a Rocket League update and Super Bowl LV Celebration have arrived, including a limited time Gridiron game mode.
Both a Rocket League update and Super Bowl LV Celebration have arrived, including a limited time Gridiron game mode.

The new Gridiron limited time mode takes place on an NFL field with 4 vs 4 teams. And the standard ball becomes an American football which will stick to your car in a similar way to Spike Rush. When any player touches the ball, they become the ball carrier, with it stuck to their roof, and can single jump.

But double jumping will drop the ball, and dodging will make you pass. If you cross the line marked on the Arena wall you’ll fumble.

Points are scored by entering the opponents goal (7 points), or passing it in (3 points). And all own goals are worth 3 points.

You’ll also be able to complete three Event Challenges to unlock the Gridiron Guru player title, NFL Wheels and 20,000 XP. Plus the NFL Fan Pack will return to the Rocket League Item Shop.

The latest Rocket League update includes Fennec decals for all 18 Esports teams in the Esports shop

If that’s not enough, there’s also the latest Rocket league update which has added new Fennec decals for all 18 teams featured in the Esports shop. It also includes a new ‘Effect Intensity’ in the settings options to adjust the visuals for the Neon Fields arena. Which is great news for any players who have found it difficult to get past the graphical effects, as you can now disable pulsing, flashing lights, moving FX, or the brightness and intensity.

It's all about the Fennec these days...
